Check syscache result in AlterStatistics

The syscache lookup may return NULL even for valid OID, for example due
to a concurrent DROP STATISTICS, so a HeapTupleIsValid is necessary.
Without it, it may fail with a segfault.

Reported by Alexander Lakhin, patch by me. Backpatch to 13, where ALTER
STATISTICS ... SET STATISTICS was introduced.

Backpatch-through: 13
